The invention discloses an image processing method and device and a terminal, and belongs to the technical field of automobile assistant driving. The method comprises that a V disparity map corresponding to a parallax image to be detected is obtained, pixel points in each column of the V disparity map are arranged, and a type attribute of each column is determined according to a statistical result; and on the basis of the type attribute of each column, pavement candidate points are selected from corresponding pixel points according to a preset rule, and points which cause interference in detection of an obstacle are determined and deleted on the basis of the selected pavement candidate points. The type attribute of each column can indicate whether pixel points of the corresponding column include points corresponding to a pavement mark line or the obstacle, namely, the type attribute of each column can indicate distribution rules of parallax points corresponding to the pavement and obstacle in the V disparity map in practical; and thus, the pavement candidate points are selected from each column of pixel points according to the type attribute, and the pavement candidate points obtained by selection are more fit to the pavement distribution rules.
